J. G. FRANCIS.

The Hon. the Colonial Secretary,

Melbourne, 24th October, 1872.

SIR,-As sheep arrive here occasionally from New
Zealand, I have the honor to suggest that the
Government of that Colony should be asked to
furnish me from time to time with information as to
the state of their flocks, as regards scab; and that
shippers should be required to furnish themselves
with a certificate of the freedom of their sheep from
scab before leaving New Zealand or to submit to the
alternative of having them dipped on arrival here.

I have, &c.,
EDWARD M. CURR.

The Hon. the Chief Secretary.
